How the Process Works

STEP 1 — Listen & Assess

We begin with a real conversation — not a form. NeSonya listens to your family’s situation: your loved one’s care needs, their personality, what they value, what worries you, and what your timeline looks like. Together, she maps out current and anticipated care needs, mobility, cognitive status, social preferences, dietary requirements, and budget. This becomes the foundation for every recommendation she makes.

STEP 2 — Match & Shortlist

Using her deep knowledge of the Triangle market, NeSonya identifies the communities that are genuinely suited to your loved one — not just the ones with available beds. She considers all qualified options and provides a clear shortlist with honest notes on each.

STEP 3 — Tour, Compare & Choose

NeSonya accompanies your family on tours when possible. She helps you know what questions to ask, what to look for beyond the surface, and how to compare options fairly. When your family is ready to choose, she advocates directly with the admissions team to ensure the terms are clear and your family’s concerns are heard.

STEP 4 — Transition & 30-Day Follow-Up

NeSonya coordinates the logistics of move-in day and works with the community’s team to ensure a warm welcome. Our commitment does not end there — she follows up at the 30-day mark to make sure your loved one is settling in well and your family has what it needs.

What This Costs Your Family

Radiant Senior Advisors charges a Family Advocacy Fee for our full placement service. This fee ensures we can advocate for your family with complete independence — recommending any community that is genuinely right for your loved one, whether or not that community pays us a referral fee. It is how we keep our guidance honest. Details are discussed during your complimentary initial conversation.
